The Chief Inspectorate for Environmental Protection (PL: GIOŚ) has leased 4,600 sq m of office space in the refurbished HOP building, part of the Syrena Real Estate portfolio, at 132/134 Chmielna Street in Warsaw. The Inspectorate has been operating from its new address since January 2026.

HOP office building has gained a new tenant from the public sector. The Chief Inspectorate for Environmental Protection (PL: GIOŚ) has signed a long-term lease agreement and occupied 4,600 sq m of space in the building. The institution moved into HOP at the beginning of January 2026, relocating its headquarters there.

The Chief Inspectorate for Environmental Protection (GIOŚ) is a key public administration body responsible for supervising compliance with environmental protection regulations in Poland. Its tasks include, amongst other things, conducting professional environmental inspections, monitoring air, water, soil and noise quality, detecting environmental crimes and overseeing waste management. GIOŚ also provides reliable data on the state of the environment and cooperates with other services in intervention and prevention activities.

HOP is a postmodern building from the 1990s which, thanks to PineBridge Benson Elliot and Syrena Real Estate, has undergone a visual and functional transformation incorporating ESG startegy. The office building’s façade has been given a new look that sets it apart on Chmielna Street. A 600 sq m public square has been created in front of HOP, filled with greenery and relaxation areas. On the ground floor, a new co-working zone has been created for the building’s users, along with conference rooms totalling 1,000 sq m. Tenants have also gained a fully equipped bicycle zone, and the underground car park now features charging points for hybrid and electric cars. The office building also features one unusual space – a flat designated as an artist’s residence.

The designer behind the new HOP project is Anna Łoskiewicz of Łoskiewicz Studio. HOP offers over 14,000 sq m of lettable space. The building has six above-ground floors and one underground floor, housing a car park with 94 parking spaces. It has been awarded BREEAM in Use (EXCELLENT), WELL Health & Safety and “Barrier-Free Facility” certifications.

Apart from GIOŚ, HOP’s tenants include YOPE, Aplikacje Krytyczne, BNP Paribas Bank Polska SA, ERM Polska, Evergreen and Żabka. The building’s manager, Syrena Real Estate, also has its headquarters there. The LUPO Pasta Fresca restaurant operates on the ground floor of the office building.
